As to conditions in the oounty, Hher iff Bufford says he oan tell only what be hears. Tost there have been re ports of blind tigers to different parts of the oounty, but these reports were also in circulation while the dispen sary was here. ANDERSON OOUNTY. Sheriff Green says that there has been a great Improvement over the ooteaty since tha dispensaries were dosed. Some blind tigers existed while tha dispensaries remained open, and sinoe thalr removal the numbeT of tigers has shown some decrease. There are a few blind tigers, but the effloen are vigilant and suppress them as they appear. There have been blind tigers all the time.

The J ig tnde ie enormous, liquor Is ordered in larger quantities, and they seem to have just as muoh. I can’t say that there are any blind tigers, but I have every to believe there'are, and that they are more plentiful now than be fore the voting out of the dispensary. Candidly I believe, from the expres sions I hear throughout the county, that to the light of praeent oondi dons, If the vote ware again ordered, the people would vote to reopen the dispensary. Oounty Supervisor W. K Holt ob serves: “I oan’t say as to oondltloos in Conway, but my Impression Is that there must be less drinking through out the rural districts of the oounty slnos the voting out of tbs dispensary, yst the Jug tnde la a great one. Then, too, If they can't get the liquor, they will make it anyhow. If whis key could be wiped out dt kept out, I think that would suit our people, hut considering preesnt oondltlona, 1 be lieve the people muoh prefer the re opening of dispensaries In this coun ty, In incorporated towns, however, for I don't behave they approve of toe woods dispensarlaa In other words, I hear frequent expressions that they prefer the dispensary liquor to blind tigs* L’quor, and it's ons or tbs other.

McCullough of Dari ^■jfngton, wben Interviewed said: “We have had a great deal better order In the town of Darlington since the &§- pensary was removed than beforr. The records shew that,” said hr, turning to his books, showing a de crease of fully one-third in t h e oases recorded in the same period of time before and slooe. “We have leu blind tigers In town then to now than under toe dispensary, but the Jug trade'Is Some larger. I thing the sentiment of toe town is that ae long as Florence, Timmonavllle, Bish- opvtlie and Ohera* are with dispensa ries, the people want one in town hers to keep trade. But they really prefer not to have a dispensary st all and think that ether towns should vots it out.” ^ Chief of Police A. E Dargan stat ed: “We have leu drunkenness and better order. There are more blind tigers, but most of them are walking onee. The Jug trade has increased, bat I don’t think the people want the dispensary back.
